looks good man. are you considering getting them for your parking lights?
bmak21 02-04-2008 10:08 AM

what did people use for dome lighting? i want to change my inside lights but dont want to waste my money on crappy ones
nperkins 02-04-2008 10:12 AM

the LED i said was "flaky" has now burnt out... Lasted all of 2 weeks TOPS... Sent an email to superbrightleds about warranty and i'm waiting to hear back from them...
rockthebox50 02-04-2008 10:54 AM

people can just read your plates alot better and cops can pic you out easily on the freeway
l2iceboy 02-04-2008 03:53 PM

I want to put them on my front parking light as well(one is out so needs replacing anyway), and I"m gonna get 4300k HIDs, would these match? or are these really blue in person?
would 600kHIDs look better with these? i like 4300k since i get the best view of the street from inside the car.

i'm assuming from these postings that the license plate taillights as the same bulb type as the front parking lights on the bugeye?
IIdiceII 02-04-2008 05:08 PM

ive had my superbrightled rear license plate bulbs for a while now and theyre doing great....

def clean up the back of the car real nice...and it doesnt really make them easier to read. theyre almost harder to see because the letters/numbers look a lot sharper and harder on the eyes :D
l2iceboy 02-04-2008 05:24 PM

hmm they look nice, i'll order two for the license plates and two for front parking lights...

The lights look great (the white one's, not the blue).

To all the people saying the cops will see your plate easier you guys clearly don't get the point of these. Why would the cop pull you over for doing nothing driving down the freeway. If I was a cop and saw somebody that gave me a better chance of seeing who they were I'd move along and find someone who's hiding something (their plate with no lights). If you're going to screw around and drive like a j-a-c-k-a-s-s then turn off your lights, flip on the high beams and problem solved.

I believe those are the ones used in the earlier pics.

Looking through their site, I am contemplating an interior color change as well as upgrading my map, dome, and license plate lights.

If a cop wants to read your plate, it doesn't matter how well it's lit up. He's going to do it anyway..
nperkins 02-05-2008 09:41 AM

Does anybody know the resistance needed for the turn signal LED's? I'm going to pull apart my turn signal relay and put a different resistor in it, but I dont know what additional resistance I need... I THINK its like 3-6 ohms from what I read, but not sure...
camshaft06 02-05-2008 12:07 PM

I may have to try this one out. Looks sweet!

Courteau 02-08-2008 01:12 AM

i paid 20$ for a pack of 2 at a local part shop, maybe you can find them cheaper online, im in canada so most of the time shipping and custom kill the deal...

be careful when changing them, i heard that the bulb could pop out and fall into the light housing.

its nothing like the inside of a chrysler aspen tho. **** the inside of that truck is full of bright white leds.

I purchased (4) of the super white LED's that everyone has been getting in here, and they came with a notice on the packaging that if you install them into headlamp housings, the one year warranty is voided.

[quote]Do not use LED bulbs in the same housing with head lamps, the heat will cause them to fail quickly and void the warranty.
We warrant all of our bulbs for one full year when if used in normal vehicle applications.
We do not warrant our car bulbs when used in applications other than normal vehicle bulb installations or if used in headlamp housings or to replace GM Daytime Running Lights

Some GM vehicles apply a pulsed voltage to the Daytime Running Lights (DRL), this pulsed voltage causes LED bulbs to fail quickly, just as the stock filament bulbs also fail quickly in these DRL installations. Use in these applications voids the warranty.[/quote]

I just picked up yesterday for my license plate, since there aren't parking lights in the headlights on the 08's.

I had them in my headlight housing since December and there is nothing wrong with them. Put about 3,000 miles of city driving so thats plenty of hours. We'll see how long they last.
humplick 03-03-2008 12:38 PM

The bulbs are cheap...if you put it in your headlight assembly and they go out, deal with it. Buy new ones.
wrx07LT 03-03-2008 12:41 PM

exactly.
wrx07LT 03-03-2008 12:42 PM

but a can be a bit of a b*tch to put in.
tubbytreats 03-03-2008 12:49 PM

I've had LED lights in my headlamp housings before and they burned out after about 20K miles (one year or so of use)

Just mentioning that for whatever it's worth. I know $5 a bulb isn't a big deal, but I also don't want people thinking that LED's will last longer than a normal 194/168 bulb in the headlamp housings.
vecdran 03-27-2008 02:22 AM

Slapped the bulbs in my plate lights tonight.

Looks very clean, I like it :)
wrx07LT 03-27-2008 04:15 PM

The heat from the headlights kill the leds. 5,000 miles and still working.

They'll fail, just wait. But like others said, it's only $5 + shipping for each bulb.
disaster999 03-27-2008 04:27 PM

i have led parking lights in my headlight housing for 2 years and still working fine...not sure what you guys are talking about

Yeah its no big deal. Did you see the leds that the site has for your doam lights? I have them too. They are nice.
garamas 03-28-2008 08:43 AM

which one do i need for the dome lights i wanna get the bright led ones
wrx07LT 03-28-2008 09:50 AM

[quote=PARANOID56;20509084]i put these ones in my dome (both the front and rear dome lights) and i have a sunroof also. things are frigen bright. a very tight fit, but damn, sooo nice and bright. way brighter then the stock stuff. I got the 6 led one for all three spots from superbrightled.com
[IMG]http://www.superbrightleds.com/store/html/images/HPfestoons.jpg[/IMG][/quote]

I bought the two bulb set up. It could be brighter. But I'm happy. The three bulb would be a very tight fit. The two bulb, the one i got, is the same size as stock.

Superbrightleds has different sizes of LED festoon bulbs.....

Does anyone know what size the dome and maps take?
wrx07LT 04-14-2008 11:26 AM

if you look at my picture above, I bought the two bulb led set. the shortest one Superbrightleds has to offer.

I heard of another kid who bought the three and it was a very tight fit, be careful that you don't snap the connectors.
skiteton 04-14-2008 01:57 PM

^^^Are yours "cool white" or "warm white?"

Looks good!
Which ones did you use?
kpluiten 09-21-2008 01:32 PM

I just got a whole kit for the interior and plate from a vendor on here for ~40 bucks.

Here is there site: [URL="http://yourledshop.com/shop/"]http://yourledshop.com/shop/[/URL]

They have a thread in the classifieds; I'm sure you can search it. The kit was cheap, shipped ridiculously fast (bought Wednesday night, arrived Friday), and the results were great. Perfect white light (no blueish tint). I would check them out.

EDIT: I see [email�protected] made it here already.
wrx07LT 09-21-2008 03:56 PM

trunk lights
I have a 2007 wrx and in the trunk there is an extra plug next to the light. I'm wondering if that plug could be for another light? If anyone has any idea let me know, I want to get more light in my trunk.
GeoffSFAs10 09-21-2008 07:34 PM

superbrightled.com get the white 194 leds. they work out great. only costs me a couple of bucks.
wrx07LT 09-21-2008 08:54 PM

I have that installed already. I want it brighter. I might install a mini led bar. I'll go to Advance Auto and see if they have anything of that sort. Do you have anything in mind?
p01ntb1ank 09-21-2008 09:01 PM

May the heat from headlight housing/headlight bulbs cause the LEDs to melt?
wrx07LT 01-17-2009 10:04 AM

[quote=subierider;25212055]May the heat from headlight housing/headlight bulbs cause the LEDs to melt?[/quote]

Nope, you will not have a problem with that. I just don't know if it will melt if you have HIDs. I have mine almost 10,000 miles and still didn't burn out.
